Why Burns & Wilcox Global Solutions Chose Novidea
Burns & Wilcox Global Solutions selected Novidea to unify their insurance broking operations and deploy a single, end-to-end broking platform across multiple geographies.
The company wanted to introduce data-rich, real-time reporting that enables more effective business performance management. In parallel, working with Novidea would enable Burns & Wilcox Global Solutions to reduce process inefficiencies and create a more streamlined experience. Time to market was also a priority, and delivering a production-ready system in a matter of months was critical.

Kaufman Group International, said: “Choosing Novidea was an investment in a best-in-class platform that gives Burns & Wilcox Global Solutions an immediate competitive advantage. We now have a core end-to-end platform with integrated workflows, connected services, reliable data and real-time visibility across regions that aims to reduce costs and enhance service for clients and partners. Given the complexities of the London market, we are pleased to have delivered the platform swiftly and collaboratively.”
Jonathan Tritton, Managing Director at Burns & Wilcox Global Solutions, said: “As we continue to build our unique proposition in the London market, we are focused on continuously enhancing the products and service we provide to clients, while also attracting and retaining top talent. Our partnership with Novidea supports us in meeting both of those objectives, and we look forward to making the most of the opportunities ahead for our clients and teams.”
Market Connectivity and Placement Efficiency
The implementation delivered a range of features and broking capabilities, including the following:
- Creation and management of London Market documentation and transactions, including LPANs, MRCs and invoices
- Electronic connectivity via Web Connectivity for A&S, CLASS and BSM messaging
- Bi-directional transmission of documents and data between Novidea and Whitespace to place business faster and more efficiently
Continuous Innovation Through Monthly Releases
